Pear CiderDan introduced me to this, it's actually quite nice! I've always hated cider due to the fact I used to get very drunk on it when I was younger but the pear is growing on me...
Anyone else like this?

Pear Cider's proper name is Perry - remember Babycham? The Champagne Perry?
Traditionally Perry is bit easier to drink than Cider because it doesn't have such a high alchohol content, although pears are sweet they also contain unfermentable sugars, so the alchohol content only gets to somewhere between 3 & 5% whereas cider will ferment out to maybe 9%. It also means that the resulting drink will be sweeter than the traditional dry Cider.
Perry orchards are getting few and far between now, a lot of them have been grubbed up.
Am I going on?. . . . . .
